Kent

I survived my first week of college at Kent State University.. No big deal, really. We haven't started doing much yet.. I'm assuming next week will be more challenging and exciting. I'm currently taking Principles of Thinking (a philosophy course), Psychology, Seven Ideas That Shook The Universe (Physics), Fundamental Mathematics 2, and a first year experience orientation course. In less than a month I will be taking a physical education course called Broomball, which apparently means that you wear tennis shoes and run around on ice hitting objects with a broom.. or atleast that's what I've been able to formulate from hear-say. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any English courses which is more than disappointing to me.. However, as an English major, I'm sure I will be taking a fair amount of them in the future. So far my college life consists of walking, biking, attending class, doing math homework, listening to music, etc. It feels as though I am constantly in my dorm room, which is fine, apart from living in a hallway full of stereotypical fashion merchandise majors who blast ridiculous music and haven't yet realized that they are in college. Right now I'm drinking Powerade and listening to the album Grace by Jeff Buckley.. I'm rather enjoying having no distractions and just being able to learn. I think that's what I've always needed.
